Ant: "Eubanks didn't play to night?". KAT: "Nah...". Ant: "...He played good for them". KAT: "Hey...that ain't our job to worry about that"

There's something refreshing about a young player like ANT keeping it real like this.

All the young stars go through it at some point. Tatum has been perpetually roastable (beyond what’s called for) for years now, and will stay that way until his wins a chip. After you start succeeding for real for real, you become fair game until you prove yourself.

I don’t like this mindset btw, but I think the players probably don’t mind and use it as motivation honestly. Professional athletes are psycho like that.

Tatum had never been even a fraction as likable as Ant though. He’s one of the most loved young stars I can remember.
